[A] [D]
[A] [D]
I saw roses choking in the grass, [G] flaking pink and a broken [D] window pane.
A mailbox [F#m] barely standing by [Bm] the driveway, I can almost [A] read the name.
[Em] [D] [A]
[G] A swing set and forgotten toys, where little girls and boys played [D] happy games.
[F#m] [Bm]
[D] Everything I ever cared about [A] is gone now, but the memories [D] still remain.
The old man from the house across [G] the street asked, how's it going?
[D] And I said fine, but the expression on [F#m] his face would make [Bm] it funny, that he could almost
[A] read my mind.
[G] That Johnson boy from down the road was asking if the kids could come [D] and play.
[Bm]
[D] Lord I wish I could have told him yes, [A] but I just said I guess not [D] today.
I just came home to [G] count the memories, [A] that I've been counting in [D] my mind.
[Am] I just [D] came [F#] home [G] to count the memories, [A]
of a better [Em] [D] day and time.
[G]
[D] All the birds that sang the pretty songs [G] aren't singing like they did when we [D] were here.
Cause there's no happiness [F#m] in music [Bm] if somebody isn't close [A] enough to care.
[Em] [A]
[G] I picked a ragged daisy from it's home out in the corner [D] of the yard.
[F#m] [Bm] She [D] loves me, she loves me not, [A] now I don't have to wonder [D] anymore.
I just came home to [G] count the memories, [A] that I've been counting [D] in my mind.
[Am] I [D] just came home [G] to count the memories, [A] I guess it's time to [D] say goodbye.
